BRENTWOOD, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire man who once said he had nothing to do with his ex-wife's death is planning to enter a guilty plea in the case.

Aaron Desjardins of Epping is charged with first-degree murder in the March 2013 killing of Amanda Warf. His sister, Michele Corson, of Skowhegan, Maine, who faces accomplice to first-degree murder and other charges, also plans to enter a guilty plea.

Prosecutors say Desjardins slit Warf's throat and set her body on fire in a vacant concrete plant in Exeter to try to cover up the evidence.

The notices to plead guilty don't specify a charge.

In an affidavit unsealed this year, the 37-year-old Desjardins said Warf was trying to take away their son and plotted with his current wife, Sarah Desjardins, to kill Warf.
